Hi.  I'm not sure if you're referring to a blood test for a heart attack, which should give you rapid results or if you're thinking of eds. if eds there isn't a a blood test for this, but the doctor would examine the mobility of your joints and ask questions to make this diagnosis. I have eds and getting the diagnosis has helped me to modify my lifestyle and I now feel much better.  Good luck. I hope all goes well.
